D3 isn't a bad game, but hype sold a lot of extra copies. in all honesty, I think it was impossible to design the game both to try to make something new and to please the oldschool players. They should have gone with one and the other predominantly.

I dont get the hate for D3. Sure its not D2, but I still got more fun out of it than many other single player games Ive bought. I personally feel I more than got my money's worth out of it.

because all the hard work you do for that character pretty much means it will go bye bye once the servers are gone or blizzard has the right to delete them which is why everyone is raging about online mode. And probably get hacked too if your lucky

Hehe..I guess for now they are happy they sold 12 million - by whatever means. man..I regret falling for the hype around "The Phantom Menace"^^
What consumers REALLY think we shall see by the sale figures of a possible x-pac. But mind this: People rave on how fantastic D2 was. It sold 4.5 million copies, yet the x-pac LOD only sold a third of that: 1,5 million. Means..we have all kinds of interpretions open if, when and how a D3 x-pac sells.

...sounds like WoW....oh..and it also sounds like D2 ladder or hardcore. So what has changed?

Whining for the sake of whining are we?

That is an idiotic gripe and you know that.
Those servers arent going anywhere.

And hacking? Really son?
hacking and cheating and duping was common shit in D2 because there was no monitoring at all.
The only way you're going to get hacked in D3 is is you lack any common sense and click shit you shouldnt.

You know. THe way you get hacked on everything.

It was common in D2 since its single player you get to keep your characters in D3 you get caught editing the files its pretty much gone. Paying 60 only limited to log on not tamper with files is a rip off not able to add mods or maps change textures. And for getting hacked thats on Adobe side

Yes. God forbid that a company actually takes action against cheaters in their game.
D2 was singleplayer.
D3 isnt. It is a multiplayer with a singleplayer option.
The entire game was designed with MP in mind.

5.4 last content patch.
There's a patch after it to appoint the new warchief (whether it's 5.5 or 5.4.5 doesn't matter, it will happen).
There's also a small possilibity of another pvp season before the new expansion (prideful gear was datamined and connects with SoO).

All of that if you just read ghostcrawler and other dev accounts on a daily basis.

Any of that stuff could come in a 6.0 patch. Just like a lot of stuff happened in 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0. Who knows though. The biggest support I've seen for a 5.5 patch is that GC mentioned a balance patch which would need to come before 6.0 hits.

Here we go again..it is either "spiritually dead" or "sale figures mean nothing". Fair enough, you hate the game - can't please everyone. Hopefully lesson learned and wait for reviews before buying into "hype"

You can´t upgrade a premium tank. All its modules are stock, forever, and forever the tank will be worse in battle than a regular tank. It just earns more ingame credits than a regular one.

You also didn´t mention taht you can buy the best ammo AND the best consumables for cash and since many months ago FOR CREDITS, which are available in game for everyone.

WoT has the best F2P system, in wich a free player can eventually get the best tank in the game and load it up with the best ammo and the best consumables, without a single disadvantage in battle with a premium user; it will just take more time and a slower ccredit farming. Now WoW goes the same way while you must keep paying the sub.

It seems most of the things people don't like about diablo 3 only became problems in the later stages of development when lots of overhauls were made delaying the game release further. They turned a jagged rock and smoothed it out continuously until it became a tiny shiny pebble removing what they thought was the "excess".

I enjoyed it when it came out, lost its appeal soon as I killed diablo on inferno as there was nothing to do but grind for upgrades. I don't think it was a bad game however.

D3 was such a bust... it sucked compared to d1 and d2... The best current dungeon crawler imo, is torchlight 2 since it was created by runic games which is really Blizzard North... the same people who created diablo 1/2 before blizzard merged with avtivision in 2008. After the companies merged, blizzard north broke off and created runic games. Blizzard tried to bring life into the diablo series, but it's been stated by many fans that D3 was a bust.
